Friends, I know that I am taking a risk in posting this, in loosing some of you, but I believe that the more people who see and read of the atrocities going on in Iran – well, it might lend more support, if nothing else, but through prayer.
After the jump, you will see some horrific scenes of death and destruction provided by people on the ground in Iran, some of them Christians (they do have Christians in Iran), many of them young, men and women, who want nothing more than the simple freedoms which we in the United States take for granted everyday.
Remember these people in your prayers and do more if you get the chance.
Make sure you read the stories at the BBC and other news outlets.

HT. (Here is the story of the young woman above)
Early today, a beautiful young woman was demonstrating in Tehran, along with her father. When friction between the Basiji – the brutal packs of militia that patrol the streets of Tehran, beating women and children and students — and the demonstrators broke out, it was her ill-fortune to become one of the first victims of Basiji homicide, though she was doing nothing more than standing by innocently, watching.
It is said that a Basij sniper shot her through the heart, simply to see her die.
The final moments of her tender young life leaked into the pavement of Karegeh Street today, captured by cell phone cameras. And not long after, took on new life, flickering across computer screens around the world on YouTube, and even CNN.
“Her name was ندا (#Neda), which means voice or call in Farsi. She is the voice of the people, a call to freedom”
He full name was Neda Soltani. Will she be the martyr for Iran?
